“Glencore’s Queensland Metals is pleased to partner with Student Horizons to enable Year 10 students to get first-hand experience on what it’s like to work in the mining and resources sector at a Glencore’s Ernest Henry Mining operations near Cloncurry. The mining and resource industry accounts for about 75% of our country’s exports and contributes significantly to our economy creating an abundance of job opportunities. We hope this glimpse into the industry sparks an interest in working in the Queensland resources sector – it could be the start of some ‘oresome’ careers!”
